SGPC further requested the government of India to educate the schools, colleges, and educational institutions about the Sikh tenets and principles while observing the Martyrdom Day of Sahibzadas at the national level.
The SGPC also added that they may provide support and assistance to the Government institutions to run the awareness campaign about the Sahibzadas.
SGPC further objected on the name ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ given to Martyrdom Day of younger Sahibzadas by the Government of India. It said that it has not been accepted by the Sikh institutions including Sri Akal Takht Sahib and SGPC. The Sikh body also recommended the name of this day as ‘Sahibzade Shahadat Diwas’.
SGPC quoted that In Sikh tenets the Sahibzadas are respected with the term ‘Baba’ (term of respect used for (elderly) holy men), for their valour and unparalleled martyrdoms and not as ‘Bal’ (child or young).
